Überflüssig [English translation]

Today I'm writing history

And tomorrow I'm in my grave

And the day after tomorrow no one will know

That I have ever been

My life goes on forever

And still just a little bit

It has no meaning at all

Compared to eternity

Before me there have been many and after me there's no end

I am one out of billions eternally on the same run

The steps that I am taking

Other's have already taken them

And once I have finished them

Someone else will start them again

I don't want to hear it

I don't want to see it

I close my eyes

And maybe then it'll go

(We'll see)

Aha - Without goal and without point

Aha - I'm just living day to day

Aha - no loss and no gain

Because I'm superfluous - totally

From birth until the death

It's only a tiny bit

The clock of life ticks unstoppably

Nothing can turn it back

It's only a few years

A cog in the wheel of time

There is nothing to be won

In the eternal transience

I don't want to hear it

I don't want to see it

I close my eyes

And maybe then it'll go

(We'll see)

Aha - Without goal and without point

Aha - I'm just living day to day

Aha - no loss and no gain

Because I'm superfluous - completely
